I bought into their robot. for $4000. I put in $10k because they told me that "it wouldn't really work" with less. I swiftly lost half of it. Reached out over and over. Was gaslight often and told to just keep watching it. I was offered a "replicator" program for free but you guessed it, you must put up more money. You can only use it to get back money you lost, not including the $4k I paid for a scam. At any rate gold continued to declined until my account went to zero. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY!!!! I did every single thing they said. I lost $14,000 and they simply don't care. I am going to put reviews everywhere to save anyone from making this mistake.

Hi Jessica... I am sorry you had a bad experience. You have made a number of defamatory and untrue statements. To begin with you say you swiftly lost half your money. I must take this that you did not run on a simulator as you contractually agreed to.
Also, if you lost half your money why didnt shut off the bot? Regarding the replicator it is absolutely false that "You can only get back what you lost". The replicator was offered to you because we DO care. We did not have to do this.
Why you chose to ignore our offers to help is beyond comprehension. I would kindly caution you to be tread lightly about posting defamatory and untrue reviews "Everywhere".
It is true that the FX bot industry as a whole underwent unprecedented volatility. Any company in that business struggled. After a decade of positive results (you saw these) the bots took losses. We kept our clients in the loop and then spent countless thousands of dollars building our replicator and we GAVE it to anyone that lost on the bots.
I have dozens of thank you notes from people stating that we went above and beyond to help them. You seem to have ignored our advice (which is in writing and signed by you) and instead chose to write an untrue review. I will be flagging this review because making defamatory comments that are untrue are agains Trust Pilots guidelines

Avoid this company at all costs
Avoid this company at all costs. I paid nearly $10,000 and was never given access to the material they promised. I tried in good faith for months to get a refund and was told it was too late. Very unprofessional company with little regard for their clients.
Response from University Of OptionsMar 5, 2025
Patricia... first of all, I am sorry this did not work for you. That said.. you and I both know you are not being truthful. We worked with you extensively on your tech issue. It was not our tech that was the problem. It was on your side and we still helped you.
Again, something you know as well. We had you fixed and ready to go, and you never said another word until many months past the refund period.
To anyone reading this, please feel free to ask us for the facts. We make money with our members every day. But Patricia never applied herself; she just gave up for no reason.
For 6 1/2 years, we have worked with over one thousand members.
Reach out, and we will give you a free pass to sit in on our trading sessions, and you will see how great it works. You can observe as many days as it takes you to get comfortable.
Lastly, Patricia received a refund for over 40% of her purchase..
Patricia... if you are still interested in making money then I suggest you re-enage and use our fantastic tools. You are always welcome

Dan is the man
I traded with Dan for nearly 2 years in the options trading room and can tell you first hand that he lives to trade! His company is awesome, he is always doing his best to improve things and is available way beyond what I expected. I think his insight and experience is unmatched. When you hear Dan's life story, how he came up, and who taught him, you will realize Dan's teaching is priceless. Very funny, great communicator and blessed with a genius mind. I promise he knows more than you about trading.
As for the the platforms, Dan's setup is super cool, you learn those in a week or so. You can ask even the most basic indicator or broker questions in the live room or to the group. Dan is the tutorial. He is sort of a geek squad type computer guy as well.
In the trading room and classes you will hear a stream of consciousness from Dan that will teach you all the terminology, reasoning, mindset and charting with value I can't imagine finding anywhere else. I could go on and on but lets just say, if you fail with Dan as your mentor it's all you.
I left the group last year during a big life change and have traded alone now with a great win rate. I owe it to Dan and his ability to inspire and teach, I am beyond hooked. There is not 1 person out there that knows more about live options scalping IMHO.
Thank you Dan for giving me the skills to trade solo daily. I do miss you all though! Lee included=)

I lost the Bot and money I invested in it, I don't recommend to use this company
I lost the Bot and my $10K investment they suggested to start the Bot with. This company has a poor customer's support, misleading instructions and lack of experienced tech support members.
1. It took them a week to start my Bot-they simply didn't have licenses- this was a response to my message questioning delay.
2. After 10 days or so Bot has finally started working with my $10K recommended investment, but didn't take any trades right away. I asked Tech Support why and the answer was "Bot has a warm up period". This was not what Sale rep Joel mentioned during our initial call. I particularly asked Joel when I can see Bot bringing profits and how soon and the he said " Right away"
3. After waiting for 2-3 weeks and seeing Bot has no any profits, but just negative trades - I gave up and decided to switch to Demo account, submitted the ticket. Vanessa from tech support reached out to me and ask the reason for switching instead of implementing the change. I said the reason for switching was Bot is very slow and not profitable. Instead of switching she suggested to increase lot sizes to aggressive level and 2-3 days after Bot went to heavy drawdown and collapsed.
4. In the very beginning I received a manual clearly stating 1:200 leverage accounts are recommended to use. After my Bot went to heavy drawdown and collapsed- I sent e-mails requesting refund for my purchase , after 5 days Joel finally called me and asked why I used 1:200 account? You see the issue, I hope.
I would not recommend to invest and lose your hard earned money into University Of Options Bots. There are much better products out there from more experienced Algo companies for sure. I'm currently using 5 different Bots from different companies and University Of Options Bot was the worst from them.

Hi Alex... I am very sorry that you are not happy with the service we provide. Rather than get into a "he said", she said. I feel compelled to bring forward some critical information.
Yes, it is true that our Pro bot suffered a TEMPORARY DRAWDOWN. Drawdowns are not losses, and in fact, the most recent drawdown has been fully recouped, and our members are in profit. So, why did you take a loss? Simple. For whatever reason You chose to ignore our messages wherein we advised our members to turn off their bots while in drawdown. Almost all members followed our direction, and their drawdown has been replaced with a profit.
I have messages I can show to anyone concerned by this review guiding our members to turn off their bots as well as recent messages from members telling me their trades are now profitable
To go further, I began providing daily videos updating our members on the USDGBP situation the day the USD lost significant ground to the British pound. As it turned out, my updates were 100% correct when I forecasted that the USD would recover. As mentioned above, the dollar recovered the drawdown, and the trades became profitable.
While I see things differently than you, I agree that installing your bot took us longer than normal. When you signed up, we experienced a record amount of bot sales. We can't forecast such a huge upsurge in business, making it impossible to staff.
As an update to my reply. Despite offering this person our newest product which not only cost more than he “claims” to have lost but also has shown the ability to generate steady income for him, he will not take down his fallacious review.
Of course bad reviews are bad for a business. Thankfully we have only a couple of them. This is because we deliver world class service and constantly look for new ways to help our members. Reviews should not be used as a form of extortion which is what is happening here. Below is a recent message from Alex.
“ Thanks, Dan. I'm patiently waiting for the moment to be part of the group and start the program.
Yes, I will be more than happy to remove negative feedback I left once I recoup or receive my $10K lost capital.
Sincerely,”. So, if we pay him the review goes down? Wow.
To anyone reading this, does a company deserve a bad review while doing everything in its power work with the reviewer? We offered the potential for an amazing solution. He excitedly reached out to me the same day and expressed interest.
I think it’s reasonable to ask that the review be taken down to give us a chance to make him happy.
Alex was given clear instructions that would have avoided his losses entirely. The USD crashed against the British pound and this caused the bot to go into a drawdown. Just as I told our members (I can prove everything I am saying) the bot would come back, it did. 100% of the drawdown was recouped and the bot is in profit. Sadly Alex chose to ignore our advice thus creating a 100% self inflicted loss. Still we were willing to help. Past tense.
Below is one of 4 messages that we sent to members. All 4 Alex ignored.
## Understanding the ProBot Drawdown Holders Update
1. Reminder of Options
- Turn off the bot if you don't want trades closed.
- Failure to turn off the bot led to trades being closed.
2. Monitoring and Manual Intervention
- Monitoring prices until trades are profitable.
- Manual closure of trades when profitable.
- Possibility of turning the bot back on if market stabilizes.
3. Historical Data
- Examples of past drawdowns and recoveries.
- Instances where significant drops were recouped.
4. Current Situation
- Recent small percentage increase causing panic.
- Reassurance of minor percentage change.
- Emphasis on historical recovery trends.
5. Advice and Encouragement
- Encouragement to stay calm and patient.
- Highlighting potential for significant gains.
6. Handling Stress
- Suggestion to turn off the bot!

Unsung Hero
I read so many of these reviews before taking this leap into the world of options trading. There seemed to be endless raves about how positive the UOO experience has been for so many people! I could not agree more with what has been said about the entire program. The live trading is a masterclass in how to do this conservatively and correctly. Dan and Lee make you feel as though you have a mentor/partner on this journey. A price cannot be placed on their combined knowledge and years of experience.
However, for those of you who are still considering or new, I am here to make mention of another person. If you haven't met her yet, you will and you must! Debbie Farrer.
So, I came to UOO without a shred of understanding for the stock market or trading, much less options. I honestly didn't know what an "option" was. My brother had recently started the program and thought perhaps I'd find some interest in learning a skill that could potentially provide me with a little more financial independence. Fast forward- now I'm doing this, which again, was a huge leap for me. But I'm struggling. Really struggling. Despite the thorough videos and the step-by-step format of the modules, I was lost. Failure was not an option (no pun intended), but despite all that was available to me, I was too overwhelmed and embarrassed to reach out and get clarification. No matter how redundant or stupid my questions were, I knew I needed help if I was going to stick with it.
That's when I found out that I could have a one-on-one session to ask my questions and go through anything I was struggling with.
Debbie spent an hour talking and walking me through every single issue I was having. But more than that, she helped me understand how emotions play such a huge role in the success or failure of this venture. Both, while learning and later while trading. I was already allowing emotions- pride, shame, ego, whatever, get in the way of my learning. She gets that this can be intimidating for those of us who might just need a tiny bit more handholding than others. Not forever- but just until we have our epiphany, late as it may be. We all learn differently after all.
I know I am not the only one. And for anyone who is coming into this without a shred of experience but still wants to learn something completely new, you should know that there is someone who is dedicated to helping you find your rightful place.
Don't hesitate to spend an hour with Debbie in a one-on-one. She's warm and funny and totally puts you at ease. She makes learning fun and approachable with the ultimate goal of elevating you to the next level. I think the entire team is absolutely incredible. I just wanted to shed a light on this particular person because of what a difference she made for me.

Hi Heather.. thank you so much for the great review and for acknowledging Debbie. She is a gem and we are so lucky to have her. Debbie is also a long-term member of University of Options which is where her passion comes from. We are here for you!

Always going forward!
University of Options wants to help you make money. They trade live every morning and afternoon. It's not like they are just wanting you to sign up and leave it up to you to figure it out. Upon signing up the have over 30 modules for you to go through. They REALLY encourage, almost demand you go through each module and complete the course, just so you have an understanding of what's going on. That's what a true professional mentor with heart does. Dan and Lee are both well experienced traders and are both VERY successful. They really want EVERYONE to succeed. Dan is always looking for new ways to help the novice to the well seasoned trader make money in the market. Dan's system works, you just need to follow it diligently. Not only can you follow Dan and Lee into trades, they go over why it's good to go in or stay out. They really teach you how to trade. Dan and his whole team are so nice and helpful. I'm beyond happy!

Beware, someone falsely used my name!
I want to start off by saying that someone posted a bad review using my name. They did not share the last name, only my first name and my last name initial. It was posted as Steve G and the date of experience was May 25, but posted yesterday. This person used a false email and used my name. That said, I am a proud member of UOO and have been since 11/23. This is by far one of the best training programs available. Dan Rawitch is an outstanding trainer but more importantly, a person who cares about your success and has a big heart. Regarding the bots that this impersonator said, this is obviously a disgruntled individual who doesn't have the balls to state their real name. I have participated in the bots and will state that one of the bots did not perform as I expected, the other has done exceptionally well. I am extremely happy with my experience regarding the bots and would highly recommend speaking to Dan's team to learn more. Again, I cannot say enough great things regarding Dan Rawitch and the team at UOO. If you truly want to find a way out of the 9 to 5, speak to his team. It will be the best decision you make!

Innovative products
Innovative products. Cutting edge support. Live trade streaming. Full transparency with links to myfxbook.com. With my current schedule I find their "bot" trading vehicles absolutely fascinating. Their training courses are always evolving. In the initial stages they encourage paper trading. Their moto is "slow is fast." This is a class outfit.
